Why Therapy?

Therapy is a collaborative process where you and your therapist work together to explore and understand your suffering, whatever it may be, and discover effective ways to manage it. The space of therapy is open to all aspects of your human experience, offering an opportunity to make sense of these experiences and develop practical solutions. Gaining insight into why we think, feel, and act as we do can empower us to make intentional choices, break free from unhelpful habits, and move toward living in a way that truly serves our well-being.

Why Therapy?

Psychotherapy, with a therapist that is right for you, can guide you to feel authentically engaged in your life and enhance creativity, aliveness and deeper connections with other people. Whether through individual therapy, group therapy, or skills-based groups, you’ll find a supportive space to explore your life from new angles, gain fresh perspectives on past and present challenges, and develop practical tools to navigate them more effectively. Our therapists are dedicated to supporting you in uncovering what may be holding you back and empowering you to navigate obstacles more effectively, so you can live your life with greater fulfilment and ease.

How it Starts

We understand that taking the first step into a counselling room or virtual therapeutic space can feel daunting, and we’re here to make that experience as welcoming and supportive as possible. Your therapy journey begins with an initial 50-minute session where we’ll explore your needs, expectations, and goals. This session helps us understand your challenges, discuss potential therapy approaches, and recommend a personalised plan that aligns with your needs. It’s also an opportunity for you to get a sense of how our therapeutic models work and whether they feel like the right fit for you. During this meeting, we’ll ask questions about various aspects of your life and functioning to ensure our service is well-suited to support you. To take the next step, simply contact us and let us know which therapist you’d like to see. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

Areas of Expertise

We work with individuals seeking support to better navigate a wide range of challenges, including experiences of abuse, anxiety, adverse childhood experiences, depression and low mood, dissociation, eating difficulties, impulsivity, panic attacks, relationship and family struggles, self-harm, stress, substance use, and trauma. This list highlights some of the areas we specialise in but is not exhaustive. Our team has particular expertise in delivering evidence-based therapies recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to individuals whose difficulties may be described as “borderline personality disorder” (also referred to as “emotionally unstable personality disorder” or “emotion regulation disorder” in clinical settings) and for those living with Post-Traumatic Stress (PTSD). Additionally, we provide Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for people with a history of recurrent depression, supporting them in breaking the cycle and finding greater stability and resilience.

Our Philosophy

We are committed to seeing and supporting you as a whole person, not just through the lens of a condition or diagnosis you might have received. At the heart of our work is building a trusting and collaborative relationship, where you feel safe to explore challenges and uncover new perspectives on your life. We welcome people from all backgrounds, valuing your individuality at every step. This includes respecting your race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, culture, spiritual beliefs, and lifestyle choices. Our team has experience working with clients from diverse communities across the UK, Europe, and beyond, and we are continually developing our cultural awareness and anti-racist practices to provide an inclusive and empowering space for all. Above all, we are here to work with you in a way that honours your unique experiences and supports your growth.
